at the white house to-day in conversation
with the president for upwards of three
hours and rumors are renewed tonight that
he is to assume charge of the treasury port
folio. 1t is now known that Mr.. Cleveland
rendered the secretaryship of the treasury to
Mr.. Carlisle more than a fortnight since and
that it was refused. Mr.. Carlisle stated that
he could not afford at this time to quit con-
gressional life for short term in any federal
Office, although he recognized that that
rendered to him was the highest within
the gift of the highest officer Of the country.
Then he was told that he was wanted in
the treasury for purpose, and that it was
matter of most vital Importance to the demo-
cratic party; that if President Cleveland sue
ceeded himself he would retain his secretary
of the treasury, provided he was the gentle
man from Kentucky. 1t is understood that
the man who waited upon Mr.. Carlisle is
prominent cabinet officer, and that he urged
with such persuasiveness the necessity of the
speaker leaving the presiding chair in the
house to go into the treasury that qualified
consent was finally obtained. The qualitica-
tion was that it should be shown that the
transfer was necessary to party success.
few days ago Speaker Carlisle had a talk
with the president about the matter and in
sisted that he could do more for the party in
the house than in the treasury, and at the
same tine he could do himself more
| justice. If he LETT his place in the
| house he might drop out of pub
| lie life on the 4th of March, 1889,
| whereas he had life lease if he remained as
| now. Ii is stated upon excellent authority
| that the president intinated to the speaker
| that in event he went into the treasury now
there waa such thing as ALTERATION in the
| NJ ., ,l,N tl,n,
tional democratic ticket next fall; that their
association in Office now would naturally
lead people to speak their names in
the same breath and it might lead to some
| thing. But this did not strike Mr.. Carlisle as
| forcibly as the argument that he was needed
and demanded to insure party success, as the
| speaker is not q believer in the
theory that the south can furnish
even a second name on the ticket. A
| gentleman who possesses much inside mfor
nation from the white house says Secretary
Manning believes that he himself may be
called to lead the party in the next campaign
and that he had this in view when he wrote
to congress recently concerning the fisheries
| question; that Cleveland recognized that the
administration will not be endorsed by New
| Gurk at the next convention or at the polls
next fall, and that his object in insisting
upon Speaker Carlisle going into the treasury
believing that he can he nominated
and elected without New YORK. He thinks
| Carlisle would place liberal constructions
| upon the customs and internal revenue laws
and make an apology to the revenue re-
| formers tor the failure of the party to execute
its pledges. To-dav's New York democratic
| papers predict that Carlisle will succeed
Manning. but, as stated in these dispatches
Friday night last, IL is not likely that he will
do so.
BENEDICT MOVING HEAVEN AND EARTH.
| A desperate effort is being made by Publ ic
| Printer Benedict to secure his confirmation,
but it is understood that the senate will re-
| ject him at the first executive session. Ben
| edict has number of talented women in his
| Office, and it is stated that some of these are
| working for their chief confirmation, even
going so far as to solicit aid of senator's
wives. 1t is stated further that Benedict is
going about among democratic senators and
promising that if he is confirmed she will not
leave trace Of republicanism in the office"
Printers unions throughout the country,
representing 10000 voters, have protested
against Benedicts confirmation, and as there
is an alliance between trades unions and the
Knights of Labor organizations, representa-
tlves of the latter here say if Benedict is con-
irmed the senators who vote for him will be
bOycotted at the polls
| A DELUGE OF DooRKEEPERs.
A frequeptcr of the departments here says
there never was as much dOor.banging, or as
many dOorkeepers, as now Fortunately,
under former administrations only the heads
of departments INDUCED in the luxury of a
personal doorkeeper or messenger; but now
he says, the head of every bureau, and even
